fonts

SUMMARY
When you open a kdenlive project with titles that use a font that is not
available on the platform, the Clip Problems box pops up, but doesn't actually
list any information about what is wrong. There are no missing clips to
resolve, and no information that a font is missing -- just this hint that
something is wrong.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a file with a title sequence
2. Uninstall the fonts used in the title sequence
3. Restart kdenlive an open the file

OBSERVED RESULT
A empty popup for missing clips

EXPECTED RESULT
An error message with the name of the missing font in the popup

Actually, a substitute font is chosen for display and rendering, though the new
file is not updated with the new font (nor would I want it to be, I suppose).

That was another odd thing, actually, since the file looked fine even though
there was this error. Though the font wasn't a perfect match, I didn't notice
the change at first.

Thank you for reporting.
Beside the message it would be good to choose a substitute font as well.
